Chat button no longer picks up the host site's button styling
- fixed The "Chat with me" button on embedded sites is a real button in the host page, and sites whose design system styles every button (bevels, outlines, shadows) could paint their effects onto it, most visibly as a retro bevel riding the accent color. The button now explicitly opts out of host shadows, so it stays a clean accent pill everywhere it's embedded.
The embed button ("Chat with me") lives directly in your page, which is what makes it feel native: it follows your link's accent color and label. The flip side is that it's a real button in the host page, and pages whose design system styles every button got to style ours too.
The most visible case was sites that give buttons a bevel or a hard shadow: the effect rode on top of the accent color, and the clean pill you picked came out looking like a control from an old desktop theme. Outlines and forced shadows did versions of the same thing.
The button now explicitly opts out of the host's shadow and bevel effects. Your accent color, text color, label, and position still work exactly as configured on the Appearance page; what's gone is the layer the host page never asked permission to add.
